Lyrics

You bring them into the world
you start from scratch
you do your best
you light the match
Put your dreams on hold
took out some loans
gave up what you had to build a home
chorus:
you can't slow down the speed of life
as fast as day becomes the night
the years go by in a flash of light
you can't slow down the speed of life
end chorus
Give them so much love
THey will never know
Until one day, when
they all leave home

they'll see the world through
grown-up eyes
look at you both
and realize
just what it takes
and it costs
to love and lose
to live with loss
chorus
bandaged our bruises
forgot our falls
woke up tired to late phone calls
chorus
tought us take pride
in what we do
so i dedicate this work to you
ethics and values
you passed along
are the reason
that i wrote this song

let's slow down the speed of life
don't you worry we're alright
thank you, cuz you got it right
let's slow down the speed of life
